Bush reacts to Steven Colbert
Son, On April 29, 2008, Steven Colbert was a guest at the White House correspondents dinner. The ABC news cameras focused on President George Bush during Colbert’s presentation. He does not seem happy. My take is that Steven Colbert is a little overboard. It strikes me that the President of the United States would grow […]

Son, The attached video compares George Bush speaking over then years ago when running for Governor of Texas with his speaking skills today. So what is going on?

Bush ‘idiot’ video – is or is not
Son, Is linguistic skill the qualifier for intellect? Does one have to speak well to be considered intelligent? Does George Bush fail at speech, or does the problem run deeper? Joe Scarborough hosted a worthy discussion on the intelligence of President Bush. [wp_youtube]whhbPVrb5KM[/wp_youtube] Dad

Thinking about the Economy? Remember Bill Clinton
Son, The economy is at it’s worst in twenty years – who is in charge anyway? Is anyone in Washington D.C. thinking about anything? I can’t help but reflect on the Presidency of Bill Clinton.

Son, The Republicans have had their day in office. They have been in control of the United States Government for the past seven years. If you want more of what we have, vote Republican.

Son, Meet the Press has finally come around to having real journalist participating – rather than have Tim Russert looking for sound bites. This is actually a good discussion on the candidacy of Obama. [wp_youtube]wX7kTBqqpr0[/wp_youtube] Dad
